Why we are getting out of Nicaragua | Nicaragua Travel Vlog

[@ejnava01]

Oh, nooooo! Haven't watched the vid yet, but I already feel terrible...

[@ejnava01]

Continued.. Just finished watching the vid and THE reason you're living is possibly the most respectable, as it's nearly impossible to argue against following a country's laws. Having said that, you guys are one in a million and it was a pleasure to have been part of the adventure. You have certainly treated Nicaragua and its people with respect and your efforts to highlight the beauties of Nicaragua have been invaluable. For that and much more, you are loved by Nicaraguans the world over. Lastly, it has been a privilege (and flattering) to have Australians appreciate the beauty of our land, particularly because Australia is such a magnificent place with awe-inspiring fauna, nature, culture, etc. YOU WILL BE MISSED, but hopefully we'll see you again soon... should you decide to return to your humble home in Central America, you'll be welcomed with open arms. Sincerely, Edward

Aw, well it's a bit sad to see your Nicaragua stay come to an end, but 18 months is a FANTASTIC run! You've got a great attitude about it all, and it sounds like you've got several months of really exciting things coming up! Can't wait to see what Costa Rica and Panamahave in store. Safe journeys in your next chapter. Cheers!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks Stephen and Andie! We are very sad to see it end too. Our time in Nicaragua has been such a pivotal time in our lives, filled with so many great memories. As you say, we aren't done with Nicaragua in KZbin land just yet and new countries to explore too!

[@stevecameron5371]

My Esteli passport turnaround time was 6 days, but then when my car license plate expired (Alabama), I had to start going to Managua, which I now am doing. Hopefully my residency will be approved in September. Yes you read that right: Ford Crown Victoria driven here from Alabama, USA: 2700 miles/4300km. Thanks for everything.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Wow, that's quite a journey! Managua is a bit of a pain from Estelí each month. We wanted to stay in Estelí for a while but struggled finding longer term rentals. It is a very cool city!

Fun watching. My wife and I was stuck in Nicaragua for 6 months because of Covid and the border closed. We also lived in Granada in a house manage by GPS - they are amazing and we had the best house help in Maria and the staff at GPS. We lost our hearts to the city and got some good friends. Nicaragua is just so very different and Granada is so beautiful that we will want to return one day. Thank you for sharing your story as it reminded me of the wonderful time we had.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Wow, you had exactly the same experience as us! All things considered, it was pretty amazing wasn't it? We couldn't think of a better place like Granada to be stranded in during a pandemic! GPS treated us so well too!

[@NoRouteExplore]

@@BucketListTravellers Almost, we did however decide to fly out after 6 month when we got the offer to come with a charted flight. A little more expensive but not too bad. And we got 2 month extension of our visa usually and only had to be without our passports one week each time. But we used the same office as you show in the film, the same supermarket (so much better than the other one next door owned by Walmart) and we also had some trips out of Granada. Only thing we did not find so amusing was the Calzada except for Sarahs food at Pan de Vida :-) Funny we didn't meet as we were so few visitors left at one point.

[@BucketListTravellers]

But in 2019 (35 + years later) I was able to visit and it was a lot of fun as I have family from both my parents there, though I didn't see much of Nicaragua as you guys did. But the way you guys talk about your experience there makes me want to go back and visit again. Watching you both share your experiences while there I had a smile on my face the whole time.

Hi hi! I'm going to visit Nicaragua for a month next week. Thanks for all the tips! Small question: How is the situation with mosquitoes? Is only mosquito repellent enough or is mosquito net needed during the night?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Tom! Mosquitos are going to be a fact of life in Nicaragua, they will be everywhere. If your accommodation has good seals on windows and doors then you should be ok. You typically only get mosquito nets when you are in accommodation out in the jungle somewhere. We found that cranking up the fans tends to keep them off you at night. Repellant should help too.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks Andrew!

[@romanmaster3217]

Jon and Jay...thank you for sharing your experience in Nicaragua...I'm a native Nicaraguan living in the USA. I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful video. and I didn't enjoy the part about living Nicaragua but that's life. Beautiful people like you are always welcome in Nicaragua. Peace, harmony and love!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks so much for your kind words Julio! We have plenty more experiences to share about Nicaragua so we'll be there in spirit for much longer still!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Wow! 3 weeks to 18 months! Beautiful place!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Not exactly going to plan but so lucky to have had the experience that we did!

[@mrojas2007207]

[@anapatriciag8510]

Love how you experience Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and how you guys touched the lives of others and how Nicaragua 🇳🇮 was also so deep and personal as well- nice video! 🥰🇳🇮😘

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Ana Patricia, thank you for your kind words. Yes Nicaragua was such a special time for us and we were so blessed to be there during the pandemic. Thanks for watching!

[@alvarojflores]

Thank you for visiting our country, feel like it's yours now, I spect you can comeback soon, if it's your wish, you'll be very welcome. Keep doing whatever makes you happy.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you Álvaro. We miss Nicaragua a lot and will be back one day.

[@steveapplebaugh2200]

Fantastic! Thanks, mates!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for watching Steve!

[@vivalachoice1244]

This is where my mother is from & I think she left a great country in 1950, never to return. How very sad, I wish to visit someday & think I might never want to leave. Thank you for the videos. Sadly now with Covoid I'm not sure if I can ever visit.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Viva LaChoice, Nicaragua has certainly had its ups and downs. It would be a shame to never visit, it really is a wonderful country with wonderful people. We hope covid ends soon so you can visit.🤞🤞🤞

[@TimeTravelWalk]

bittersweet leaving Nicaragua im sure, but i hope you both enjoyed it. i really enjoyed your videos as well as tips and tricks for visiting. 😊👍 Greetings from NYC.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Bittersweet is a good word! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@carlosaltamirano3923]

Oh ,no. ..qué triste, no se vayan.. Que. ,los extrañaremos. Me a gustado. Como ,conocen de hustoria y mas de mi pais. Vivo en el extranjero. God blessed you , wherever you go.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Gracias por sus amables comentarios. Nicaragua tiene una historia muy interesante y orgullosa y nos sentimos bendecidos de haber pasado tanto tiempo allí.

[@heyner_rivera.14]

I didn't expect this... But i don't get sad because i know that you will come back someday. There is a huge population of nicaraguans in Costa Rica, you will find a lot of fritangas, especially in San José.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Awww Jango😢🤗. It was always going to be hard to say goodbye. We don't feel like we are done yet with Nicaragua and would love to come back one day. We are glad to hear that there are still fritangas in Costa Rica!

[@titachinokmiranda]

So sad you are leaving but totally get it don't fight the current. I really did appreciate as someone that hasn't been able to go to nicaragua and visit family due to covid doing your walking tours and making me feel at home.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Glad you understand where we are coming from Miranda! You are most welcome and we are so humbled to hear that we were able to make you feel at home again. We have plenty more Nicaragua walking tours to share, so don't despair!

[@TheExploreCouple]

Great video guys keep it up ❤️

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thank you so much 😁

[@jennistein1]

I would love to see a video comparing Nicaragua vs. Costa Rica vs. Panama. We just visited Costa Rica for 2 weeks and loved it. Now contemplating Nicaragua or Panama. Thanks for your videos!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Jennistein1, that is a great idea! Quick answer to Costa RIca v Nicaragua, Nicaragua is a third of the price of Costa Rica and less developed. We hear that Nicaragua is what Costa RIca was like 30 years ago. We would argue that you get a more more rustic and authentic experience in Nicaragua, but also enjoyed Costa RIca too for the added mod cons.

[@ChrisTovahsAmazingAdventures]

You guys are going to LOVE Costa Rica! We got married there and it holds a special place in our hearts. We will be sad to see you leave Nica, but look forward to seeing your remaining Nica footage. Safe travels friends.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks! Awww, what a beautiful country to get married in! Where were your favourite parts of Costa Rica? Any recommendations?

[@ChrisTovahsAmazingAdventures]

@@BucketListTravellers Everywhere was AMAZING! A few of our fav spots was the little surf town of Tamarindo, we had the best pasta of our lives there (and we have been to Italy), We to one spot (bueno vista adventure park) with horse back riding, zip lining and they had a jungle water slide that is 600 m long (that was a really fun ride and you sure got your exercise in climbing back to the top for multiple runs) and we spent a few nights a really secluded spot called Recreo. It was more expensive, but a great experience, you have your own chief, live right in the jungle in your own little spot, you can play tennis, go horse back riding, they have a private beach...everything is included at no extra cost - really great if you want a little pampering.

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@ChrisTovahsAmazingAdventures Thanks for the tips guys! a 600m long jungle water slide and secluded pampering sound awesome!

[@irmapalacios6911]

Thank you for sharing the good experience in Nicaragua 🇳🇮 I love that country ❤️

[@Lu-nr6ib]

Sad to you see you guys leave! :( Thanks to you guys I have a much better appreciation for Nicaragua!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hey Lu, thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. Nicaragua is sooo underrated and we are glad we could help shed more light on how wonderful this country is.

[@randyparton5451]

Hope you can get back into your country! It looks like chaos there.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Randy, yes Australia is having a tough time with Delta right now. Flight caps into Australia (limitations on how many Aussies can return each week) have also tightened recently, we have just made our peace that we won't we returning until next year at the earliest.

[@ssherry9161]

Not sure if this comment group is still live. After watching yours and a few other videos it seems you were most experienced with regard short term travel. I was contemplating renting a home for 3 months if feasible and take my two girls 15 & 11 for a stay action to assist with learning Spanish. I wondered if you could let me know if that would be feasible finding a nice place to stay that the girls could also feel like it's similar to an inclusive holiday. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, our comments section is still active. What an amazing gift you are giving your daughters! You are creating memories and skills that will last them a lifetime. We have a wealth of information about Nicaragua on our website: jjbucketlisttravellers.com/destinations/nicaragua/ so that's the best place to start for planning your trip. Granada or San Juan del Sur are probably going to be the most suitable places to base yourselves. Depends whether you want beach or city. You should be able to find Spanish classes in either location. 3 months should be a good amount of time to start getting comfortable with the language. All the best Jay and Jon (Bucket List Travellers)

[@afrimericatoursllc2565]

Thanks for the wonderful video. How do I get a visa to enter Nicaragua?

[@BucketListTravellers]

You're welcome Afrimerica Tours. Nicaragua provides 90 day visas when you arrive in Nicaragua, however if you require a visa to be able to leave your country to travel to Nicaragua then unfortunately we don't know what the process is for that.

[@ridgeguitar5269]

We are going at the end of october coming from the usa. Are they going to be closing borders?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Not as far as we know, but in these times things are quite volatile so it's hard to predict what may happen even a few days into the future at the moment. We hope you enjoy your trip!

[@allencrist5797]

I didn't read every comment but couldn't find one that talked about the 6 month visa ext. What I am doing right now (working on residency) is 90 day visa with 3 - 30 day extentions (the max you can get) = 6 months. Yes you do have to deal with sending off your passports or heading into Managa, but if you do this, you only have to leave the country 2x per year. It's really not a huge deal. Hopefully I will get residency soon and won't have to worry.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Allen, we didn't think there was a 6 month extension. We were only aware of what you are doing now. We were lucky enough to get extensions for 18 months. It helped that the borders were closed anyway for most of that time! Yes, it is so much more convenient than doing a border run every couple of months.

[@vanessapasquier7585]

I miss my country and this was great to see especially bc Granada is my birthplace 😊

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi Vanessa, so glad to hear you enjoyed our video. Granada is a wonderful city and we spent a year there. We miss Nicaragua dearly too.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Best of luck guys. Shame you can't stay, but at least you really got to experience so much, rather than just visiting.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks guys! You are right, we really felt like we lived there properly and not just passing through. We have a different perspective on how to travel now and are grateful for the experience!

[@kenstar1862]

Keep up the good work,,,,,next location Costa Rica?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks Ken! Yep, day 1 in Costa Rica is actually today!

[@judiclark2632]

excellent awards! sorry to hear about the visa situation but I know you had a great time. When you go to CR, you must go to Puerto Viejo de Limon. It is paradise! When it is time to renew your visa from there, go to Bocas del Toro Panama. Try the local made coconut rum. Fantastic!

[@BucketListTravellers]

Glad you liked our awards Judi! You are right, we had a wonderful time in Nicaragua. Thanks so much for the tips, we will look into these locations!🙏🙏

[@rootless6289]

Did you guys make out to Jinotega?

[@BucketListTravellers]

We certainly did. Just haven't got round to sharing our experience of it yet. Stay tuned!

[@lauraarteaga1451]

Loved Nicaragua. My husband and I traveled around in January 2015. Loved Granada, Ometepe Island and Laguna de Apoyo. Leon is also beautiful but it was extremely hot, even in January.

[@BucketListTravellers]

You and us both! Sounds like your favourites were similar to ours. We agree with you completely about Leon, it was too hot for us!
